I felt an overwhelming urge to go to the cemetary this morning and when I got there I found that Luke's headstone had been put in place. It has brought back all the emotions and grief I usually can keep at bay. I'm sorry, I don't want to give anyone a "downer" but just have to get this out. I think I will spend the day in bed.... Sue

Sue It´s always devestating when a child sleep´s away Feel free to be sad, memorize him and think about him, that´s the right thing to do. Is it some month´s of that(6?) this is still mourning-time, you have to give yourself time with this! I keep you in mind{{{{{{{{{{HUG´S}}}}}}}}}}}}} Marja

I visit the cemetery quite often, as I have had tremendous grief issues during my life. I don't know the Luke story, but I often look around at other sites, and see people that I know and families that I know. I usually do pretty well, but when I see a stuffed toy beside a freshly dug grave then I sob and sob. Please feel free to send me a private message Jorgy, if you like. One thing that can help is to have people to talk to.

Sue ... so many of us were with you during the sad time that Luke was taken from you ... and we are still with you right now ...
I cannot relate in losing my own child but I did lose my nephew (my sister's first child) at 3 months old to Cot Death ... a period of time which will be forever etched sadly in our family memories ... and every anniversary or significant event (in your case the tombstone) brings all those sad feeling right back ....
A big, big hug to you today {{{ Sue }}}}

Sue, we all cried with you when you shared the news that Luke was coming into the world for such a short time, and we cried with you when he died.
I remember the touching message you wrote about his birth and short life, and I cried with you.
I am crying now, but it is because we have all come to love you and Luke, and his sister and brothers, and we hurt when you hurt. Let us share your tears, so that you can find a way to rejoice in the time you had with him.
Tomorrow will be a happier day, and now there is a permanent memorial to your precious little boy that his older siblings can visit.
{{{HUGS, and more HUGS}}}
Laurie

Sue, I like Ann lost a newphew at three months of age. Then a cousin of mine lost his baby at one month old. I know the pain it cost me, and they weren't my own. So I know the pain you are going through is worse. Please take care of yourself, and don't feel bad if you do spend days in bed. Like Marja said, that's part of your mourning. Come to us whenever you need a shoulder, and know we are here for you! {{{hugs}}}
